Conquest 征服（1000——1087）
九个小时的战役（the Battle of Hastings）之后，一切都改变了，诺曼人取代了盎鲁——萨克逊人，英国从此走上另一条道路。当法国人到来时，Harold解除了他哥哥Tostig的武装。他率领他的最后的部队向南冲锋了187英里。最后他在Senlac山上面对着向他冲来的威廉的骑士和弓箭手。1066年的圣诞节那天，威廉登上了英格兰的王位，英国成为诺曼人帝国的一部分，而威廉也成为第一个王。

La Trinite in Caen
So the Duke went to strategy number two, turning the matter into an international crusade. Couldn't the Pope see that his cause was just, that Harold was an infamous oath breaker, a despoiler of churches? William on the other hand was a builder of abbeys, a protector of bishops against bullying barons. It was completely absurd and it worked like a dream. The Pope was won over, gave William his Papal blessing and invested him with his ring and his banner. It was now much more than a dynastic feud. William used the consecration of his wife's abbey, here at La Trinite in Caen, to proclaim a crusade against the infidel Harold. And the barons who'd fought shy of risking their necks on the Duke's personal vendetta now flocked to join the legions of the blessed.于是公爵决定用备选策略，将其发展成一次国际征讨。教皇又怎会看不出，他此举出于正义，哈罗德不过是一个声名狼藉的背信小人，一个教堂掠夺者呢？而威廉却是修道院的建造者，保护主教，对抗恃强凌弱的财主们。此举随荒谬之极，却轻而易举地得以实现。威廉赢得了教皇的心，得到了教皇的祝福，并被授予权戒和族旗。形势的发展已远远超过了王朝内斗。威廉利用在卡昂的拉特立尼达，他妻子修道院中的献祭，宣告对异教徒哈罗德的讨伐。之前因怕受牵连而不愿插手公爵私怨的男爵们，现在蜂拥加入了这个挟上帝之名的讨伐大军中。 |
